BAY MINETTE – A former Baldwin County substitute teacher was ordered to register as a sex offender and jail time after pleading guilty to charges in connection with a 2017 arrest for having an inappropriate sexual relation with a student.

Jeremy Michael Sparks, 25, of Daphne, was sentenced Thursday in Baldwin County Circuit Court to five years probation and ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of this life, Kristi Hagood, assistant district attorney, said. Sparks was charged with second degree sodomy and having sexual contact with a student younger than 19 while he was a school employee.

Sparks was a teaching at Robertsdale High School in 2017 when he was arrested. He was being held Friday in the Baldwin County Corrections Center.
